OLDS-Overhead Lowering...

The shape of the BMS BS might be easier to manipulate the rope remotely. Sometimes, I'm a good way away. If I'm rigging another piece from the same height, I just rig it midline, rather than advancing the rope all the way to the end, unnecessarily. With the BS's symmetry, you can do that.
 
Me too!

I brought it to work for a few days ofnremovals. Made a couple of converts over from using a block and bollard

Tomorrow I'll be helping another coworker with a removalnusing the OLDS
 
LoL... it's their cart software. They just put a ridiculous price on stuff when it's out of stock, so people won't put it in their shopping cart and then whine that they didn't know it was out of stock.
 
Shoutout to Moray post #102 for spotting the concept "tension ratio" which I also arrived at after doing almost exactly the same testing - him maple me fir. ratio 2.0:1 DRT 180 deg turn rings a bell. Have to look it up - old feeble brain syndrome :)

Names and users gone by. Time moves on.
 
Those ebay, BMS were very well worn. Pictures did not depict the half of it.

I ordered one (of 3?)and when recieved canceled the purchase feeling like picture was taken from an angle to conceal depth of wear groove.

If a person bought one knowing wear and thought it wasn't going to be an issue to your ropes, fair enough.

Thanks for posting about their availability Sean.
 
So long as it's not worn through the full thickness, it should be ok.


They're discontinued, so BSs are slim pickins.


Consider asking for additional pictures from better angles.
 
There's always the fab/refurb option. You don't have to be exact in part replication, just adequate for the purpose.
